About ENDOMETRIN
ENDOMETRIN administered as a progesterone vaginal insert is indicated to support embryo implantation and early pregnancy by supplementation of corpus luteal function as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment for infertile women.
Only physicians thoroughly familiar with infertility treatment should prescribe ENDOMETRIN. In clinical trials (n=860), adverse reactions that occurred at a rate greater than or equal to two percent included: uterine spasm (3% to 4%) and vaginal bleeding (3%). Vaginal irritation, itching, burning or discomfort, urticaria, and peripheral edema were reported at an incidence of less than two percent. ENDOMETRIN is expected to have adverse reactions to other drugs containing progesterone (breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, irritability, and drowsiness).
